deported to Nigeria and Ghana.
The activists numbering
about 14 took to the tarmac at the airport in an attempt to stop the
flight.
Using tubes and chains, the campaigners including members of the
Lesbians and Gay Support the Migrants group, locked on to each other
and a pyramid structure and refused to leave the runway until the flight
is cancelled.
Many of those on board claim their lives
will be in danger should their return go ahead. Among those due to board
are a 21-year-old asylum seeker who claimed his brother and grandfather
were killed in Nigeria.
